Killing Mr. Griffin

Killing Mr. Griffin is a great read for teenagers/young adults. It follows the thriller-like plot of several Highschool students planning the violent confrontation of their ever-criticizing English teacher, Mr. Brian Griffin. Each character is written well, there is an intense yet exciting plot. An exceptional read from Lois Duncan.

Killing Mr. Griffin is a stunning thriller that any teen should find interesting. This book details a group of high school students who kidnap their strict teacher to scare him a little. However, sometimes things don't always happen as you think they might.

Every page of the story is filled with action that will have the reader on the edge of their seat with anticipation. The high school students are easy to relate to. Empathy is a major issue throughout this book for both the students and the teacher. What would you do if a prank turned into a murder>

This book was a book that I got as a gift from the Library. It just so happened that I saw the Lifetime movie about it. Its about a bunch of teenagers who hate a teacher for being so hard on them. They kidnap him as a prank, but then it turns to a murder. Very suspensful and I loved every minute of it.

Scared me! Students "Killing Mr. Griffin" really hit home with this English teacher. A great fast read -- so much better than the movie.

I read the book, Killing Mr. Griffin, for a project in my english class. I read it in less than a day, and I just loved it! It kept me reading every page 'till the end!

The only thing I didn't like is you don't know whether they gpt to jail or not, or at least what happens. It's a great book for teens, and adults would probably like it too. I know I loved it!!!

i thought that the book was a great depiction of how many high school english students feel... there was a latin phrase used in the book, it meant, "let the free spirit soar." i was wondering if anyone knows this phrase. if you do, could you please email it to me? thanks!
